Ingredients

• 2 cups Jasmine rice
• 4 cups Water
• 1 pound Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 5 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 3 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 1 large Carrot, julienned
• 1 large Cucumber, sliced
• 1 cup Bean sprouts
• 1 cup Spinach, wilted
• 4 Eggs
• 3 Scallions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Black sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Add the rice and water to a rice cooker and cook according to manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Add the beef slices to the marinade and let them sit for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

While the beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables: julienne the carrot, slice the cucumber, blanch and chill the bean sprouts, and wilt the spinach in a hot pan with a pinch of salt and a splash of water.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same pan, add a little sesame oil if necessary, and fry the eggs sunny side up or to your preference. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 6

To assemble the Bi Bim Bap, divide cooked rice among four bowls. Arrange beef, carrot, cucumber, bean sprouts, and spinach on top of the rice.

Step 7

Top each bowl with a fried egg, sprinkle with chopped scallions and black sesame seeds.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your soy-free Bi Bim Bap!
